Default My Windows

Hey Guys,

I'm having problems with my windows fitting up tightly against my targa top. This is allowing water and wind to enter, which is very annoying. Anyone have any suggestions on how to adjust my windows and stop these problems. It's a 98 vette and the top is pretty new. I just took it to a shop and the guys there "said" they worked on my window, but I think the problem is worse now then it was before.

Anyways, any insight would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike
